Off-center stones, lack of contrast, board orientations for Hex

The "classic" and "red / blue" and "numbered diamond" layouts have off-center stones. They are also in landscape orientation, which works well on the desktop, but doesn't make a lot of sense on the phone app.

For the "adaptive" layout, white stones need slightly more contrast. I often fail to notice white stones on the board. I think a slightly heavier line for the outer perimeter of the white stones would work. The Eric Silverman blog posts have a good example of a very clear and legibile line weights for a similar board layout and color scheme.

Thanks Richard. Can you fix the line weight on the hex grid for the Adaptive style? It looks like it accidentally also got bolded when you increased the line weight on the white stones.
